Jamie Foxx narrates a Mike Tyson story

Foxx shared an incident of an After-party after Tyson came out of prison, where he told the people that for some reason, Mike Tyson did not like the famous American singer-songwriter, Sisqo. Moreover, Tyson even told the singer to get away from him. Additionally, he kept yelling that he doesn’t like ‘Thong Song’, a song performed by Sisqo.

And then he goes on to talk about how Mike Tyson did not want a girl to come close to him because of his traumatic history. Foxx enunciated, “A girl asked Mike can I take a picture with you? ‘Get the f**k away from me, you don’t wanna take a picture. You want to put me back in jail, that’s what you want.’ And we was like Oh. ‘You wanna put me back in jail.’”

So then he told the Dish Nation hosts how everyone got serious, as the provocation enraged Mike Tyson. Foxx explained further how another famous musician, Stevie Wonder, who was on the piano, reacted to Mike Tyson’s fury. So the show host and Jamie Foxx tried to recreate the moment in which Foxx was enacting as Stevie Wonder. Foxx started walking to and fro across as Wonder must have done, and then he also slipped down his shades, but Wonder was unable to see.

He said, “He pulled a face like this because Stevie got to see what’s going on if he started swinging. If he started swinging, I need to see what’s going on.” Well, even after watching this interview, the idea of Jamie Foxx playing Tyson in his biopic is an idea that’s further solidified by the actor’s talent and range.
